A protocol is two or three compounds, a starting order, a 90-day shape, and a reason for each. This guide walks through how one is chosen from your answers, what you do each day, and what happens at day 90. Nothing in it needs a compound name you have heard before.
What a protocol is.
It is not a list of everything that might help. It is the two or three compounds that serve the goal you chose, in the order they should begin, with the reason each one is there written next to it. The first one starts alone. The second joins at week five. The third, if there is one, joins at week nine, and only if the first two are doing their job.
Each compound comes with the same four facts: what it does for your body, how often you take it in plain words, how to prepare it, and the one signal that means pause. The exact doses and the pace at which they rise live on the results sheet, because they are set from your answers and not from a page.
The 90 days are the unit. Sleep and focus compounds show in days; body composition moves in weeks; skin and tissue take a season. Ninety days is long enough for every goal on this site to show something you can measure, and short enough that the decision at the end is a real one. Everything is scored against a check-in at day 90. Every word used on a sheet is defined in the glossary.
How it is chosen.
The quiz asks fourteen questions and scores seven areas from them: shape, energy, recovery, skin, strength, sleep and focus. The goal you name carries the most weight. What you say about your body, your sleep, your training and what is true for you right now adds to the areas that match. The top two or three become the protocol, in that order.
Your budget sets the size, not the contents. A smaller budget means one compound, done properly, with the rest named for later. A larger one means the support joins at week five and a third at week nine. The compounds are the same either way; only the number that begin now changes.
The medical questions remove compounds rather than warning beside them. Pregnancy, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, active cancer and a history of pancreatitis each take specific compounds out of the protocol entirely. Regular medication and diabetes on insulin add a note for the prescriber who can see your chart. The safety answer sets out why.
See which of these belong in your protocol.
Get startedThe 90-day shape.
Week one starts the core, alone, at its first step. Weeks two to four let it settle; this is where you learn how you respond and what, if anything, you feel. Week five adds the support, if your protocol has one, and the core takes its first step up if the first four weeks were comfortable. Week eight is the assessment: the number you have been tracking, set beside week one. Week nine adds the third compound on the largest protocols. Week twelve is the decision.
The order matters more than the compounds. Two things started in the same week cannot be told apart, and whichever one was not working keeps getting paid for. Every protocol built here follows the same rule, and the stacking guide shows what that rule looks like for each goal. On the day the first vial is mixed, the reconstitution calculator turns the sheet's water and dose into the line on the syringe.
What you do each day.
Less than you expect. A small injection under the skin, at the time of day the compound wants: morning for the energy compounds, bedtime for the sleep and strength compounds, any time for repair, on the days that need it for focus. It takes under a minute once you have done it twice. The injection guide shows the first one, and the first-protocol guide shows the first week.
Then you write one thing down. Weight and waist on the same morning each week for shape. A one-to-five score for the afternoon for energy. Deep-sleep minutes for sleep. A pain score for recovery. A photograph in the same light for skin. The protocol names the one number for your goal, and that number is what the day-90 decision is made on. The vials live in the fridge, and the storage guide covers the rest. The Planner puts every one of those days on a calendar, the Tracker checks each off and suggests the site to use, and the unit converter settles any mg and mcg question in seconds.
What happens at day 90.
Three outcomes. Continue: the number moved, the compound stays at the step it reached, and the protocol rolls into another 90 days. Adjust: the core stays and the support is swapped or dropped. Stop: the number did not move, and the compound is not earning its place. The duration guide explains which compounds are continued, which are cycled, and which are only ever taken as needed.
The check-in is with us, on the same message thread the protocol arrived on. It is the same person who filled the first order. Bring the number, the photograph if there is one, and how you feel, in that order. Then decide. Keep the baseline and day-90 numbers side by side in the bloodwork log so the comparison is on one page. All of these live at the tools.Take it to a doctor who knows you before you begin.
The 90 days, as a line.
Week 1
The core starts, alone, at its first step.
Weeks 2 to 4
It settles. You learn how you respond and start writing down the one number.
Week 5
The support joins. The core steps up once if the first weeks were comfortable.
Week 8
Assessment. The number beside week one. Is the support earning its place?
Week 9
The third compound joins, on the largest protocols only.
Week 12
The decision: continue, adjust, or stop. The check-in with us.
The short version.
- A protocol is two or three compounds in a starting order over 90 days.
- The first one starts alone. The second joins at week five. A third, if any, at week nine.
- Your budget sets how many begin now, not which compounds are right.
- Medical answers remove compounds rather than warn beside them.
- You track one number for your goal and decide at day 90 on that number.
- Doses and the pace they rise are on the results sheet, not on any page.
- Take it to a doctor who knows you before you begin.

Get startedQuestions
How many compounds are in a protocol?
Two or three for most people, one on the smallest budget. Never five. Each one has a reason written next to it.
Do I take everything from day one?
No. The core starts alone. The support joins at week five and a third compound, if there is one, at week nine.
What if I already know which compounds I want?
Answer the quiz anyway. The protocol is the order and the shape, not just the list, and the medical questions still apply.
What does day 90 look like?
A check-in with us on the message thread, with the number you tracked. Continue, adjust, or stop.
